“Global Economic Slowdown Deepens” read the 14 November front page Wall Street Journal headline. It’s real. And while some nations are slowing down, others are diving deep into economic and social despair. No clearer example than what’s going on south of America’s border down Mexico way, where several thousand escapees who left their economically depressed...

The coming fifth generation of wireless communication technology, 5G for short, promises to make everything better. Except your health. 5G is designed to make wireless service faster and more connected, while also being cheaper and using less energy. It’s possible, because 5G uses shorter wavelengths that can send data as much as 1,000 times faster...

As a culture, we’re so busy grappling for solutions, racing to conclusions and viscerally reacting to what’s on the screen in front of our faces, that we’re bypassing the deeper, interior assets of the human brain. According to Gallup pollsters, only one-third of Baby Boomers and Gen Xers feel engaged in their work. This has...

“If the ocean dies,” said Paul Watson, founder of the activist group Sea Shepherds, “we die.” The oceans aren’t in hospice care yet, but they qualify for a bed in the intensive care ward.

Despite the thriving universe of craft beers, the U.S. market for beer is shrinking, as younger drinkers have a long list of coffees, teas, energy drinks, and more exotic beverages that distract them from plain old brew. That’s one reason why total US beer sales fell 1 percent in 2017. So, the biggest brewing companies...

A Canadian study suggests that the epidemic of childhood obesity may be caused in part by the chemicals in typical antibacterial household cleaners. The researchers theorize that such chemicals are absorbed through the lungs, skin, or mouth (babies taste everything) and find their way into babies’ intestines. Once there, they kill off key elements of...

And it started beating on its own. In a lab, the scientists created a scaffold of nanofibers made of gelatin and a biodegradable plastic. Then they seeded it with living heart cells. After a few days, the heart cells had reproduced, covered the scaffold, and it started to beat. Housed in a container simulating conditions...

Anyone who’s had to manhandle a 4-by-8-foot sheet of plywood into place and hold it steady while nailing it to a wall will appreciate the construction robots developed at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. The humanoids are designed to ease the shortage of construction laborers in a nation with one of...
